This too good for you.
For the record, I'm super-psyched at how much people be seeming to like Rockmeats. I was really worried he'd come off as annoying, so I just don't know how to handle all this positivity.

Thanks guys~

I'm still a few episodes behind, but Rockmeat's sandwich making gambit at the start of the factory is what wholly won me over.

Personally like Palla the best. Fallowed by Joey then it's a really close call between Rockmeats and Kit. However I like them all quite a bit.

Session 2-4: The Dork, The Industrialist and The Paladin

So after all that running around and investigating it turns out some goofy wizard named Nore is behind all this. Luckily he and his face are plenty punchable.

The Difference between a Hobgoblin and a Orc is simple.

Hobgoblins look like this



Orcs look like this


Hobgoblins are organized, intelligent, love military tactics and are pretty much Spartans.

Orcs are barbaric, kind of stupid, chaotic and physically strong.

Hobgoblins are also Goblinoids while Orcs are not.

I feel the same way about the company bearing the same name.

So is or isn't flanking a thing in DnD Next?

Was there any way the players could have gotten any indication that Nore even existed before he came to steal more constructs? I'm always interested to know these things after playing through an adventure. Last time I played DnD we stumbled across the giant doomsday device the villains were gathering keys for, and instead of chasing after the villains or attempting to find the keys before them, we just camped out at the doomsday device and let them come to us. We were all surprised at the GM's description of the clues he'd left for us to chase after the villains, as we hadn't interpreted any of them correctly.

Not as hard and fast rule I don't think but the DM is encouraged to give out advantage if the party is doing something that gives them a tactical edge. Flanking an enemy can count as that.

If Nore wanted some wizardish notoriety, he should have marketed a spell named after himself. Mordenkainen has his sword and Melf has his acid arrow, but :science: Nore's MAGNIFICENT RAY :science: has enough gravitas that it would basically be the only spell I'd ever use.

Mordenkainen also has his hound.

Also 5e basic has been updated. We also a 2nd pdf for Gm's that has monsters, Magic items and encounter building advice in it.

The Monster section also has the Minotaur so Joey can be upgraded with the Minotaur traits.

I'm thrilled to see you guys doing this. I am also pleased to see you using roll20. Those guys have made a fantastic website that is getting better as more people sign up so hopefully this encourages folks to start their own campaigns.

I've been doing a campaign on roll20 for nearly 2 years now. 2 Multi-Month hiatuses due to people moving kept our progress back but thus far we are a bunch of level 13 adventurers in an epic 1-30 4e campaign. Overall we are all immensely satisfied with it since it has kept a bunch of close friends together and doing things from coast to coast. Also the small "mini-fig" tokens you guys use are adorable. :3:

Sure Nore's MAGNIFICENT RAY is a pretty cool spell but Bigby's Grasping Hand has so much more utility, but I feel this only reinforces the point that named spells are how you get Wizard cred/notoriety.

Any hogs seen in this video are entirely the fabrication of the production staff and are not a canonical element of my carefully crafted adventure story. Do not attempt to interact with the hogs.

The pendant is just something I made up to make the fight a bit more interesting. I figure that everything Nore has managed to get his hands on doesn't quite work as well as he hopes. Maybe he made it himself, and didn't do a very good job. Maybe he bought a discount version of a better pendant, hoping it would be just as good. Or maybe, "Nore" and "bad luck" are fated to go together. How sad for him.
